At Penn State University, I studied Organizational Psychology and supported research in the early days of e-commerce profiles collecting data for marketing professors in the Smeal College of Business.

I started my career in graphic design as a children’s and sportswear product designer in NYC . I was a creative director for an urban apparel startup brand, which is funny, because I’m not that cool. I dove head first into web design learning from Jeff Zeldman’s and Eric Meyer’s books, and countless others sharing knowledge via Lynda.com.

I wrote for UXmatters.com asking if users need to be made more aware of default browsers and observed some trends in UI design styles, like skeuomorphic vs flat UI design. That was a fun debate.
